When Yun Chen arrived at the altar earlier, there was no one around. Yun Chen wanted to know what was happening on the other islands and so, he tried to use the token and successfully teleported himself to one of the islands.
«Since there is still two days left, I will loot all the islands. » Yun Chen said to himself.
On each island, there was a tower, and, in each tower, there is twenty floors with a guardian beast protecting it. Each participant must take down the guardian beast on the floor where he/she is and will be rewarded. He/She can then advance to the next floor and challenge it. If you are about to be killed by a guardian beast, the tower will protect you and you will be teleported back to the altar outside the barrier.
When Yun Chen arrived on one of the islands, he decided to challenge the tower that was there. He began with the first floor where there was a fifth layer spirit-gathering realm guardian beast. He easily defeated it and was rewarded with an eighth-grade mortal spirit sword. Yun Chen challenged the other floors one by one and finally arrived at the twentieth floor. He noticed that, after each floor, the cultivation of the guardian beasts is increased by one small realm. Now, Yun Chen will be facing a fifth layer innate realm guardian beast. It took him only five minute to defeat it because his strength had already no match in the innate realm. As a reward, he was given a furnace but not any furnace. That furnace was listed second on heaven furnace list. It could even rival the first on the list because it can not only used to refine pills but also used to craft high grade weapons. That furnace was called "SUN AND MOON HEART FURNACE".
Yun Chen dropped by all the islands and repeated the same process and obtained a lot of materials such as the soul-refining stone, the holy water, the three-colored thunder bead, the bloodline enhancing flower, the heart blood of the transformation realm black flame salamander, a revolving core pill, a dual attribute earth grade bow, some star-raising herbs, …. . He even obtained a heavenly fire that is eleventh on the heavenly fire list: the Holy spirit lotus fire. This fire has the special ability to burn everything that possess evil or negative energy. Yun Chen took only one day to go through all the six towers. After sweeping through all the islands, Yun Chen used the token to return at the altar outside the barrier. This time, there were some people and between them, there was Yun Guanyin, and his cultivation was restored with an additional improvement to the second layer of foundation-building realm.
Yun Guanyin was overjoyed after seeing that Yun Chen came out.
«Hehe! Yun Chen! Oh, Yun Chen! There is no one to protect you this time. Your friends came out earlier and already left. Now, you are alone, and you will die. » Yun Guanyin said with an exited smile on his face.
«Just you? Where are your bodyguards? » Yun Chen asked to mock him.
«Humph! I don't need them to kill you. Now, I am at the second layer of foundation-building realm. In addition, I have obtained an earth grade sword and a better earth fire than the one you stole. You are no match for me. Hand over all your treasures and I may leave you a whole corpse! »
« Yawn! Have you finished blabbering? » Yun Che lazily asked.
« You…. » Yun Guanyin shouted in anger.
«I will be staying here. You can attack me however you want. If you make me move back more than three feet, I will kill myself. » Yun Chen declared.
After this declaration, the crowd around became very noisy. They were all shocked by Yun Chen's declaration.
« What did you say? Do you think you are a god? I will show you my true strength. Three-colored pole fire! Earth-shattering sword! » Yun Guanyin cried out.
A long black sword appeared one hand of Yun Guanyin and three-colored fire appeared on the other. He then dashed toward Yun Chen trying to slice him with the sword, but Yun Chen caught the sword without moving his feet and using his qi. It was pure physical strength.
«Is it all? » Yun Chen said to provoke him.
Yun Guanyin decided to use the fire in order to free the sword but that was what Yun Chen wanted.
«Idiot! "Drain!" » Yun Chen said before activating his "Drain" ability.
The fire was forcibly swallowed again. But this time, Yun Guanyin's cultivation dropped to the first layer of the spirit-gathering realm. Yun Chen grabbed him by the throat and lifted him.
«Any last wish? » Yun Chen asked him with a resolute expression.
«We should have killed you earlier after we killed your dad that day. » Yun Guanyin said hopelessly with a low voice.
«Hmph! I already suspected that your father was involved in my father's death. Now, it is time for you son and dad to pay the price! » Yun said before slicing Yun Guanyin's throat with his own sword.
The crowd around was dead silent and shocked. After taking Yun Guanyin's space-ring, Yun Chen summoned Xiaobai and left on its back. For the remaining day in the secret realm, Yun Chen hunted demon beasts possessing the immortal phoenix bloodline and collected two whole bottle of pure immortal phoenix blood. His purpose was to make a weapon for Su Ling. He had already gathered almost all the required materials. The only one left was the immortal phoenix blood. When the day passed, everyone was teleported out of the secret realm inside the demon beast mountain, but Yun Chen was directly teleported at the entrance of the demon beast mountain.
«It seems that this function was set by the senior spirit to help me avoid some trouble with others. » Yun Chen said while looking at the token in his hand.
« It is time to go back home and settle my account with this damn patriarch! » Yu Che said before rushing back to the city.
Yun Chen didn't go directly to the Yun family mansion, but he dropped by the auction house where he met elder Lao Gu inside the main hall.
«Greetings elder Lao Gu! Long time no see! » Yun Chen politely greeted elder Lao Gu.
«Oh! It is young master Yun! I didn't see you recently! Did you also enter the secret realm? » asked the elder after some deduction.
«Yes! And I just came back. Did you collect the fires like I ordered? » Yun Chen asked directly.
«Oh! Yes! We collected thirty-three types of beast fire, five types of earth fire and a heavenly fire. This heavenly fire is the last on the heavenly fire list. It is called Sky-breaking fire! » elder Lao Gu listed it to Yun Chen.
«Interesting! I will exchange all of them with the treasure I obtained from the secret realm. The heavenly fire will be exchanged with a revolving core pill, a dual attribute earth grade bow, an earth grade sword and a heaven level cultivation art. » Yun Chen said.
«There is no problem. Your price is more than fair. We will even make a lot of profit. Wait a minute! I will bring back the items. » said elder Lao Gu before heading to the next floor.
Fire minutes later, he was back with thirty-eight sealed bottles and a crystal sphere.
«Young master Yun, those are the fires you requested, and the heavenly fire is inside that crystal ball. » elder Lao Gu explained.
«Thank you! You worked hard! This is the payment. » Yun Chen said after putting the items inside his space-ring. He then handed another space-ring to elder Lao Gu.
«Thank you, young master Yun! » elder Lao Gu greeted him politely after checking the items inside the space-ring.
After obtaining those fires, Yun Chen headed straight to the Yun family mansion.
